I love hearing real stories like this --- someone in the trenches learning and growing. Kristina's Substack School is great for anything who is thinking about it.

👋 Hi Yannis, there you are again! Super fan 😊

Loved his story and needed to feature it.

Never quit. No matter what.

Great reminder and example.

Now he'll reach 1000 subs and the possibilities will be endless. He's writing in French. I could imagine that he also could get sponsorship deals, use affiliate links to his sources etc.

Plus, he can now go live and share a bit more about his stories.

Recommendations are a growth machine and this is a great example. Plus being active on Notes.

Together you can fire up your Substack powerhouse

Hello Kisane ❤️

he'll gonna be happy about all this beautiful comments.

Are you already connected with Lisa Zuba and all the other 50+ writers I recommended a few weeks back?

My tip: follow each other, engage, ask for collabs, write guest posts, recommend each other and engage on Notes.

Once turned on this power engine, you're unstoppable

Great read! Love seeing the journey of others on this app when you’re feeling like you’re in a void. Writing for myself has become a key motivator

This is encouraging to read!

LinkedIn has been helpful for me, though. Yes you can’t usually put an external link. (however there is a way to get around this)

But, you now have a space at the top of your profile to put a “Subscribe to Newsletter” link. You’ve also got a “Featured” section in your profile.

Lastly, you can start your own LinkedIn newsletter and all your followers get a notification to subscribe. I basically post part of my newsletter on LinkedIn and then link to my Substack if you want the full version.

Thank you, Wes. I’ve tried the different techniques you mentioned (except the LinkedIn newsletter). My experience is that LinkedIn is not the most relevant place to discuss history. That’s why I’ve focused my efforts on X and Notes, which are more effective in terms of engagement for my topic.

I was going to subscribe to Christiana's paid newsletter so I could gain more knowledge but she couldn't even respond to my DMs or even the comments I left on her posts so I gave up on her. Glad it's working for you

Hi Vivi, not sure why you're thinking this. You can ask all my members. I'm always responsive but I'm also having a family and two kids. The comments are a mess 😂 I can't keep up with them right now. I try to reply to everyone. Often it takes a while.

Sorry to hear you're frustrated. Would be happy to have you. Just send me a DM! ❤️
